What customers say?

“ Got there a little after 5pm on a Thursday and no one else was there, but a few other tables showed up while I ate. The Thai iced tea was too sweet and not very strong, but the food was delicious. I had the green curry pork and ate every bite. My food came out within minutes of ordering. The service was attentive and they kindly offered a to go cup when they saw I hadn’t finished my tea. Will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes. ”
